Walking & Networking!

So I'm going to get my lazy up nice and early tomorrow and head into the city for the AIDS Walk. Doing a little exercise and shmooze a bit.

See if I can get this outreach/writing career into high gear!

I just hope there is food along the five-mile walk route. And I don’t mean carrots & celery sticks at the half way point, like the 20 mile Walk for Hunger.

My friends got me thrown off that one a few years back. In the course of 20 miles, I managed to stop at every single concession along the route.

What!? It was the Walk for Hunger, so I got friggin hungry along the way. I made compromises.

I didn’t even stop at the stands. I just slowed down the pace a bit; and kept moving, all the while getting my wallet out and trading cash for a pretzel, slice of pizza and/or a ice cream bar.

But I don’t think it was just my burning desire to stuff my face that put the other walkers over the edge. You see the night before I was a good boy and stayed home instead of going out bar hopping. On TV, an old Rosie O’Donnell HBO special was on. Rosie and I have a few things in common. The major being, we have" useless shit" stuck in our brains. So she cracking jokes about old TV then segwayed into all the commercial jingles form the 70's & 80's, which I can remember fondly as well.

So again along the 20 mile walk route I serenaded the participants with the vast knowledge of these ditties.

BUM BUM Bumble Bee! Bumble Bee Tuna!

Cuz I’m, stuck on Band aid brand & band aids stuck on me!

Like A Good Neighbor, State Farm is there!

That’s not too annoying is it?

I have a bigger vaster knowledge of TV theme songs.
